I’m glad you said south. I’m taking grandkidsks to the one north of San Antonio soon.

Unbelievable. A Walmart parking lot? They should have went to the flea market.

You really can get anything at the Walmart. I betcha they were Chinese tigers though and not Bengal ones.

I could care less about Walmart. Sadly, these animals are often abused, starved and held in conditions of deplorable filth. The lucky ones reach Wildlife Rescues where their lives dramatically improve, still some are blind from cataracs and a host of other ailments. I wish animal abuse laws were hard-time and carried out to the full extent. The people who breed exotics for sale in my opinion are low scum, bottom feeders. The people who abuse an animal, need to be put out of their pain. Go ahead and flame away. I won’t change my opinion.

Are they talking about that area in front of the store where they drag out the barbecues and lawn furniture? Sure, I want a tiger for my backyard too, but I'm waiting until they're on two-for-one.

These are shrimps ... where are the full-sized ones?

Had this happened in the parking lot of Bed, Bath, and Beyond, does anyone believe Bed, Bath, and Beyond, would be in the headline?

Sounds like a lot of the people I see waddling around in WaddelMart now.

Somebody said they prefer to go to the Dollar store rather than Walmart because they don't have to dress up to go to the Dollar store. Makes you wonder...

I always thought that Walmart was one of the better stocked chains. But this surprises even me.

That’s because the tigers use your whole house as a scratching post.

Now look, Oddball. The trade for the uniforms I can understand. But to buy this tank, you got to be crazy!

Somehow I don’t think you’re going to find many animal abuse supporters at FR.

The animals appear to have been bound for Mexico....the animals' final destination would be in Mexico...."The people who were picking up the tigers and taking possession of them... were Mexican nationals in a Mexico-licensed vehicle,"....He said tigers have been smuggled into Mexico through the Rio Grande Valley before. I get a feeling that there are drug lords who want tigers for private menageries, and that people are going to be fed to them.

Unfortunately, this happens around here about once every couple of years and no one blinks an eye. The animals sold at First Monday in Ripley, Mississippi, would shock those from outside the area. One cannot make a public complaint without the fear of retribution.
